The service was awesome. The food was very good. Had manicotti, gnocchi, lasagna and pizza. Also had bruschetta salads. Had a bottle of Chianti and some bar drinks. Serves food too quickly not allowing for more time to settle between appetizers and main course.

We were very excited for this restaurant. I went by the recommendation from the server and got the lasagna. Didn't like it. When I told a server I didn't like it (not expecting to get it free, we understand the risk when ordering), the server asked if we wanted a take out. No kindness, nothing. She didn't care. The server ruined this for us.

We decided on Tosca for my birthday dinner and it was a great decision. Busy evening and everyone excited to be out dining again. Our favourite waiter Zoo was there so it made for a special dinner. He guided us on the perfect wine that paired well with the Tortellini Gorgonzola and my Chicken Noce that was fabulous! We started with Bruschetta and the great Tosca Salad. Service was prompt and friendly. It was was an exceptional dining experience.. so delicious… we can’t wait to return. Grazie Tosca 🍷😋👍

Manicotti was good, lasagna not very hot (long wait between seeing our server so ate it cold). Buns were good but over all didn’t live up to what friends had raved about. Maybe it was an off night, restaurant was nice looking but crowded.

We are from out of town and read the reviews on this restaurant and that is why we chose Tosca. We had a server in training but that didn’t matter. She was very thorough and always checked on us to see if we needed anything. The food was very flavorful and the portions were great. We started with the calamari and I would say it is the best we ever had. Not oily and cooked just right without being rubbery. I had the Margherita pizza. It was a big pizza, full of flavor but I would of liked it just a bit thicker but I enjoyed it. My husband had the penne fortunate and he really enjoyed it. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. My husband and I were able to have a nice conversation with the music in the background. It was a very lovely night. Highly recommend.

I have been there before. Good Italian no more, no less. It was convenient as a location. The service was warm and welcoming (thank you). Food was not as expected. We were 3 and all 3 guests were not overwhekàlmend with the food. A bit of a disappointment frankly. The pandemic is probably the standard excuse (for many restaurants). Good chefs are gone because of the instability. Dishes like veal marsala or veal parmigiana are standards all over the world. This time... Below standard. It was a Friday lunch. Change the Friday chef and we will be back.
